Pearl & Candy Colored Paints Fade Easy?

[empy]

pearlescent colors should NOT fade if done properly with the correct base + clear process. even non-OEM finishes can last a very long time if done properly.

basically, the only difference between solid, metallic and pearlescent finish is the materials used in the basecoat:

solids = pigment only
metallic = pigment + metal flakes
pearls = pigment + mineral flakes, usually mica

i've personally painted parts with pearl colors that have not faded. no experience with "candy" colors, but have personally seen some really cheap looking jobs (maybe a single stage, like theveed mentioned) that look like they never had any decent luster to begin with...so maybe that's where this perception started.

i have no idea why somebody would do a single stage pearl in this day and age....but as long as you have a good painter that performs a two stage or base + clear paint process you should have a shiny and durable finish for years
